Sunday Quote: Still Water
On the 150th anniversary of his birth:
We can make our minds so like still water
that beings gather about us that they may see, it may be, their own images,
and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life, because of our quiet.
W.B. Yeats, The Celtic Twilight, Faerie and Folklore

Forgetting to be here
There is a permanent amnesia planted in us,
which just as we keep forgetting our dreams,
we sometimes keep on forgetting our reality.
Isaac Bashevis Singer, Nobel Prize winning author.

The greatest gift
When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence.
How can you love if you are not there?
